It's Lynn Table Time!

My first "commissioned" work! Leeann loves to paint furniture...once she gets going on it, anyway. So far, it's just been for fun. I've done 2 small chest of drawers for my living room, a T.V. "stand," 4 end tables, a mirror, 2 kitchen tables (one's in my classroom), a dollhouse, and several bookcases. All of these pieces have multiple colors and are intended to be "fun."I don't paint anything other than dots and stripes and a few variations - and I use a favorite swirly stencil.

The Lynn table belongs to a friend of mine who appreciates my whimsical approach to furniture and doesn't seem to mind that there WILL be imperfections - and it's small so it doesn't overly frighten me. The biggest problem I have right now is that the Lynn table seems to think it belongs in my house! The pictures explain it all.

I am headed upstairs to change into my paint clothes and paint the table black (well, all but the top - that'll be last and not black!).

Two "before" shots, including the leg that looks like a doggy chewed on it. I sanded the table, filled in the dinner bites best I could and primed it with dark gray spray auto primer by Rust-Oleum. Now, I know it's more expensive than brushing on Kilz from the can, but it easy and it forms a wonderfully smooth surface on which to paint.
